To each his own, if he really wants to get back into the NFL, the choosing to smoke weed and fail this drug test was dumb, however we act like money is the sole motivation for people. If smoking weed makes this guy happy, and if he doesnt really like playing football as he has said in the past, he might be better off just chilling on the football for now.

Unless you have had mental issues, don't judge those that have. I would bet that you are completely correct. I don't know what it is like to be scared of people, but I can imagine that weed makes it much, much more bearable.

WTF? Who's judging? I never said he's a bad guy, I simply stated that his social anxiety disorder is most likely the culprit, rather than sheer stupidity.

Yes, but theres got to be other ways to deal with his problem besides smoking pot.

Alcoholism, prescription drugs(which I am sure he has tried, since he got help for it at one time or another), mushrooms, acid, prescription pain pills. Or he could just deal with it. He has already said that football isn't important to him. So who are you to judge him?

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Pot isnt all that expensive, it would take some effort for him to smoke himself into welfare...

Exactly. Compared to other drugs, weed is dirt cheap.

Consider that an eighth of good weed will cost you $40-60 ($ 80 being the absolute most, and the only time I've ever heard of an $80 eighth is the BOMB from the medical marijuana clinics). Compare that to an eighth of good coke, which will cost you at least $120.

Also, there's the fact that a coke high will last you twenty to forty minutes, and then your body is going to be fiending for more and more. Whereas, with some good weed, you can smoke a few bowls or a blunt and be high for hours.

Just let the guy smoke he ain't tryin' to hurt anybody. Let's do a simple little analysis here. He was a beast in the NFL on weed and then he stopped smoking and went to the CFL, go figure. It's too bad it's come to this. Regardless of whose fault it is for coming this far, this guy was a BEAST.

Since I started watching football closely about 4 or 5 years ago (been watching in general for a lot longer) he was easily one of the most impressive I've seen.
